A local resident then sent several photos to Xavier Tytelman, an expert in aviation security.
He said it could not be ruled out that the wreckage belonged to MH370, which vanished without trace in March last year.
Australian search authorities Friday said they were "increasingly confident" that the plane debris that was washed up on a tiny Indian Ocean island was from the missing flight MH370, with formal identification possible within 24 hours.
Australian Deputy Prime Minister Warren Truss said while the part "could be a very important piece of evidence" if it was linked to MH370, using reverse modelling to determine more precisely where the debris may have drifted from was "almost impossible".
Australian search authorities, which are leading the hunt for the Boeing 777 aircraft in the Indian Ocean some 4,000 kilometres (2,500 miles) from La Reunion, said they were confident the main debris field was in the current search area.
The Boeing 777-200 carrying 239 passengers and crew, was scheduled to land in Beijing at 6:30 am on March 8, 2014 which is believed to have ended in the Indian Ocean.
The Department of Civil Aviation on January 29 announced Flight MH370 was officially declared an accident under international aviation rules, and that all 239 passengers and crew were presumed to have perished.
